“And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the Lord for the issue of her uncleanness.”
The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge. The sin offering and burnt offering for the woman's restoration are the same as for the man's (verse 15). The atonement made for the woman's discharge is the same atonement made for the man's discharge: the priestly mediation is equal and the divine acceptance is equal. The covenant's restoration path for the woman with the unusual discharge is fully parallel to the restoration path for the man.
